TABLE
EMPLOYEE

ENTITY INTEGRITY
YES

Each EMP_CODE value is
unique and there are not

Do the tables exhibit referential integrity? Answer yes or no and then explain your

Each STORE_CODE value
in EMPLOYEE points to an
existing
STORE_CODE

an
existing
REGION_CODE value in
REGION
and
each
EMP_CODE

NA

Describe the type(s) of relationship(s) between STORE and REGION.

Because REGION_CODE values occurs that once in STORE, we way conclude that each
REGION can contain many stores. But since each STORE is located in only one REGION,
the
Relationship between STORE and REGION is M:1 (It is, of course, equally true that the
relationship between REGION and STORE is 1:M)
Create the ERD to show the relationship between STORE and REGION.

6.

Create the relational diagram to show the relationship between STORE and
REGION.

7.

Describe the type(s) of relationship(s) between EMPLOYEE and STORE. (Hint:

Each store employs many employees, one of whom manages the store.)

8.

Draw the ERD to show the relationships among EMPLOYEE, STORE, and
